What stands out
A quick read of the recorded project description.
Frontend API client generated automatically from backend endpoint declarations, with shared types across frontend and backend
Root scripts including backend, frontend, dev, boot, and fmt, allowing both development servers to start together
Encore.ts endpoints support path, query, and header parameter mapping and generate an OpenAPI schema automatically
Frontend example uses Svelte's $state reactive state to call the generated client
Code released under the MIT license
Template Details
This is a fullstack monorepo starter that places a SvelteKit frontend and an Encore.ts backend in the same repository, using Bun as the runtime and package manager. Root-level scripts start the backend development server, the SvelteKit development server, or both ends with a single command; additional scripts generate the frontend API client, build the frontend for production, and format code with Prettier.
The backend is built on Encore.ts. Endpoints declare methods, paths, and request/response types via api(), and the README example shows a GET endpoint with a path parameter and notes that an OpenAPI schema is generated. The frontend calls the backend through a generated client in $lib/client, with an example using Svelte's $state to manage input and the returned message.
Before use, clone the repository and run bun install, then run the development script. The README does not cover databases, authentication, deployment targets, or environment variable configuration, so these need to be added per project; the repository is released under the MIT license, but the licensing of third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons must be checked separately.
Is it right for your project?
Use Cases
- New projects that want SvelteKit for the frontend and Encore.ts for the backend while keeping types aligned
- Teams that want to develop frontend and backend in one repository with shared scripts and formatting configuration
- Projects that need frontend call code generated automatically from backend endpoints, reducing hand-written requests and type definitions
- Fullstack projects starting out with Bun as the development and package management tool
Suitable For
- Developers familiar with SvelteKit and TypeScript who are willing to use Bun
- Fullstack projects that need frontend-backend type alignment and accept a monorepo structure
- Projects that want to organize backend endpoints with Encore.ts and generate OpenAPI automatically
Getting started & customization
Use these recorded setup notes alongside the repository instructions for your chosen version.
- 1
Bun must be installed in advance, then clone the repository and run bun install
- 2
Use bun run dev to start both frontend and backend; on Windows, bun run boot can be used instead
- 3
After backend endpoint changes, run backend:gen to regenerate the frontend API client; for production use, backend:gen:prod
- 4
Use frontend:build for the frontend production build and fmt for code formatting
- 5
The README does not describe database, authentication, environment variable, or deployment configuration, so these must be added per project

How this score is calculated
Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

cd sveltekit-encore
bun install
```
## 🛠️ MonoRepo Commands
```json
{
"scripts": {
"backend": "Start backend dev server",
"backend:gen": "Generate frontend API client",
"backend:gen:prod": "Generate frontend API client for production",
"frontend": "Start SvelteKit dev server",
"frontend:build": "Build production frontend",

bun run dev # Or use 'bun run boot' for windows
```
## 🧠 Encore.ts Backend
### Core Concepts
- Type-safe API endpoints with built-in validation
- Async handlers with typed request/response interfaces
- Automatic OpenAPI schema generation
- Path/Query/Header parameter mapping
###### Example Endpoint
```typescript
import { api } from "encore.dev/api";
interface Params { name: string }
interface Response { message: string }
export const hello = api(
{ method: "GET", path: "/hello/:name" },
async ({ name }: Params): Promise<Response> => {
return { message: `Hello ${name}!` };
}
);
```
## 🖥️ Frontend Integration
###### SvelteKit API Call Example
```svelte
<script lang="ts">
import { client } from "$lib/client";
let input = $state("");
let message = $state("");
const fetchData = async () => {
const res = await client.hello.get(input);
message = res.message;
};
</script>
<input bind:value={input}>
<button on:click={fetchData}>Submit</button>
<p>{message}</p>
```
